Ethics and the power of groups

Reinhold Niebuhr examines the tension between personal morality and the conduct of human collectives. The book addresses social conflict, collective power, and the limits of rationalist and social-scientific accounts of group behavior, asking how individual ethical action might contend with wider social wrongdoing. Its subject sits at the intersection of Christian ethics and political thought, with attention to both moral responsibility and the forces that shape society.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Christian ethics and moral teaching
  • Readers exploring the relationship between individual conduct and collective behavior
  • Readers studying ethics, politics, or social conflict

Book overview

Moral Man and Immoral Society is Reinhold Niebuhr's important study in ethics and politics. Forthright and realistic, it discussed the inevitability of social conflict, the brutal behaviour of human collectives of every sort, the inability of rationalists and social scientists to even imagine the realities of collective power, and, ultimately, how individual morality can overcome social immorality.
